Mine consides with yours, except it’s a bit more techy. We’d still need someone to grow food for everyone on the planet, and that’s where robots come in… and for everything else that is just tedious or repetitive to do. We’d also need central coordination regarding things like solar panel control, or nuclear power plant control, so a central AI will most probably dominate on all devices.
There is no currency, we have an advanced socialist society. We don’t have polititians, we have “shamans” (people that guide the rest and keep the social piece, as well as uphold the values of the society). These people are not chosen by elections, they’re groomed from youngsters to be leaders and embedded with the values this society upholds the most. Of course, they’re carefully screened and chosen, based on certain tests that all children have to take, and scored on that (compassion and other highly valued human traits that are considered weaknesses in today’s society, leadership skills, etc.).
Is the ground for the voltage rail and input signal the same?
Yep.
What exactly is wrong with the circuit I built? I want the LED to only turn on when 5V is supplied at the input, right now the LED can turn on if I connect the ground to the voltage rail supply even without an input voltage.
Schematic of exactly what you did… not what was on paper, how it is on the breadboard.
I’ve seen the post on Adafruit with the feedback resistors connected to the same ground as the rail supply, but the circuit diagram does not show where the input voltage ground is? Link: blog.adafruit.com/…/ask-an-educator-making-a-non-…
I have a little sister (not so little any more, she’s 33, I’m 38) and I fuckin’ hate her guts. We don’t talk, I have her on block. She’s nuts and that’s about all there is to it.

That doesn’t actually mean it’s OK, there are cases where transistors and other descrete components are “semi-burnt” (tests check out, yet it doesn’t work or doesn’t work as it should). The ”not so reliable" test would be to use a multimeter and see the voltage drop between B-E and B-C. The definitive test would be to make an actual amplifier circut, use the transistor in it and see if it works and if it distorts the sound (there are also cases where the PN substrates are somewhat depleted or damaged, either through use or a manufacturing error, so it works, but distorts the signal).
Do the light test, see if that passes, then do the multimeter test, see if that passes as well. If they both check out, 99% chance the transistor is OK. That 1% can be eliminated with the test circuit amp test.
